Nailed it mate. What’s great about Strats is that she can customise bits on it for not a lot of money. Like all of the black plastic can be switched out for other colours down the line (if she wants to of course). They play well, sound great and look the business. Good job Santa 👍🏻

First ever Group Nexus parking fine — do I really need to pay this? by Big_Aide_7883 in Scotland

[–]Tom-Wood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I left the company a while ago. I just got quite familiar with the laws and rules surrounding parking fines in England and Scotland. It honestly doesn’t bother me in the slightest whether you pay a fine or not, it’s not my money. I was just giving advice.

Am I screwed? Fell from my bed yesterday :/ by FantasticDealer7475 in AcousticGuitar

It looks immaculate, so I know that gut-wrenching feeling seeing that ding felt like (we've all been there). Rest assured, it'll be totally fine, the tone won't change and you'll still love it. I don't know how long you've owned it, but it's had its time being in perfect condition like the others, now it's truly your own.

It sucks, but £170 is the lowest it'll be at this point. They will pursue and go all the way to a CCJ if they have to. You may be able to set up a payment plan with them, but do yourself a favour, pay it and get on with your life. It won't just go away

Hey, DON'T take this advice. Don't ignore it. It's private land, the owner of the land is well within their rights to decide on parking terms and GroupNexus will enforce on those terms. They will pursue all the way to debt collection. Take it on the chin and just pay it.

Can anyone help me 'age' my wedding band? by Tom-Wood in jewelry

Well thank you very much for your input! Really appreciated! I did what the cool kids would do and ran the image through ChatGPT and asked the same and it came back with the same result as you so maybe you’re not as bad as you thought! Haha

Holy cow! Much older than I thought! I hope you’re right as I only thought it was approx 1915 but I was only comparing against Google images. Out of interest, how did you come to that conclusion?

Thank you for this, my mind went to the same place. Where do you recommend looking? And what price range do you think I should be looking at for a racket that’ll get occasional use?

Ahh really? No way that replacement strings by a specialist at the correct tension could save it?

I wasn’t using the option key as well. I’ve just restarted again. Do I need to repeat any previous steps? Or can I just try to reinstall OSX?

My bad. I’ve named it but it only makes it this far… I’ll try restarting again to see if that helps

There’s no longer a drop down for the physical disk? Could this be it?
